Synopsis

The Foundations of Geometry is a classic book written by the renowned mathematician, David Hilbert. The book was first published in 1899 and is considered one of the most influential works in the field of mathematics. The book explores the fundamental principles of geometry and provides a rigorous and systematic approach to the subject. Hilbert's approach to geometry is based on the concept of axioms, which are self-evident truths that form the basis for all mathematical reasoning. The book begins by outlining the basic axioms of geometry and then proceeds to develop the principles of Euclidean geometry. The text also includes discussions on non-Euclidean geometries, such as hyperbolic and elliptic geometry.The Foundations of Geometry is a comprehensive and detailed work that covers a wide range of topics, including the theory of angles, the properties of lines and circles, and the concept of congruence. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented.Overall, The Foundations of Geometry is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of mathematics or geometry. It is a timeless work that continues to influence the field of mathematics today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1902 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
